Michael Gove launches fresh attack on Truss as he threatens new rebellion after tax U-turn
Daily Express says Michael Gove continued his attack on Liz Truss today as he threatened to launch a fresh rebellion against the Prime Minister. The former Cabinet minister warned the Government must not switch from its pledge to increase benefits in line with inflation.
Boris Johnson made the commitment when he was Prime Minister, but Ms Truss has refused to clarify if she will do the same.
Mr Gove said today: “My basic position, my starting position is, yes, Boris was right.”
He added: “I’d need a lot of persuading to move away from that.
“But I wouldn’t want to prejudge an argument that was put in front of me before the argument was made.
